The Augusta Chronicle printed an
editorial the other day that took the
mask off Frank Simonds. The t'hron i
icle might have gone further and said !
that Simonds has for many years |
made his living off of a newspaper!
that is more British then American, I
I
and that he is by nature one of those
Amereans who think that we have no
right to express an opinion about I
Jieace that is not inspired in London.

The Congressional Record is genei !
ally regarded as a repository of dry:
facts with very little literary color
ing, says the Mmiroi Advertiser. One
does not turn ns pages in search for
the romantic and poetic, and seldom
does one lose himself in its contents to
such an extent as to forget his stir |
roundings, nor is it a volume which I
is laid down with a sigh of regret, j
’The re ait pages of tiie Record, how-i
